Not That Guy (SR:154, 2/1) is the highest-rated proven runner in this field, with a 4-star AI probability and the best jockey booking by a wide margin — Oisin Murphy at 22% career strike rate is a strong positive signal. The 326-day absence is the main concern, but Hugo Palmer (13%, 1513 runners) is a trainer who knows how to have a horse ready on return, and the tongue-tie addition signals connections have been working this horse. At 2/1 the market has made him favourite for clear reasons: SR:154 is 1lb ahead of Inkberrow (SR:153) and 4lb clear of Iron Dome (SR:150), and in a novice with several debutants and limited exposed form, the highest-rated experienced runner with elite jockey support is the most defensible pick.
Each-way alternative: Iron Dome.
Main danger: Inkberrow — Inkberrow (SR:153, 11/4) is trained by Simon & Ed Crisford at a 20% career strike rate — the strongest trainer stat in the field — and as a debutant the market hasn't fully drifted despite a slight easing, meaning connections likely have solid homework on this horse; SR:153 is virtually identical to the selection and a big first-time run is entirely plausible.
